OK, cheers. While serving in the Australian Army I met a USAF Reserve C-5 pilot who, back home, was a NYC police officer. He had been called up on Sept 12 2001 and was still flying when I met him in mid 2003. Seems the yanks rely on reservists to fight o/s as well. I don't think Aussie Chockos (Reservists) can be deployed overseas unless they volunteer to do so.
